    Lewis-Rahman for me I think. Though I wasn't into boxing back then and Lennox was on Box Office. Forget about being jealous of the Fab Four and Tyson, I'm jealous about missing out on the Lennox era :-(

    :lol:

    I was like 7/8 at the time and I remember my brother making me score the fight the next morning over and over again :yep

    I was probably shown the second Tyson-Holyfield fight by my Dad before that, I just can't remember it as clearly as watching Lewis-Holyfield I.

    I managed to catch the end of his era - I can still remember the Rahman fights, the Tyson fight and the Vitali fight very clearly. In fact I wanted Vitali to beat Lewis after Lewis destroyed Tyson :lol:

    Sadly I was more into wrestling back then :tired

    I don't remember, I DO remember keeping asking my Dad who was winning and him not being able to give me a straight answer. Which was fair enough looking back, it was a close fight and Minter was away from home!!

    Toney's form just collapsed after the loss to Jones, but he was very inconsistent even prior to that. He was getting beaten very clearly by Nunn, and only his defensive skills and colid chin kept him in it. He looked mediocre a few other times too.

    At his best though, he's a joy to watch - he slips punches, moves underneath them and then sets up a punch right after it. I prefer watching him to Jones for the simple balls it takes to sit in the pocket like that.
